Beautiful version. Equally delicate and powerful. Wonderful performances from everyone.

this whole show is more sedate and slower than some of the others from earlier this week/tour. Nice Jerry support, good vocals from Bobby.

you're either going to love Jerry's filigree or take it as noodling. I think it adds something to the cowboy songs.

Date's wrong. Usually not a fan of this tune, but the jam blows up mid-song.

Worth a listen from the jamming from "Space" into "Stephen," and I find it interesting how the band move through those conceptual spaces in the transition. You can almost here when the first jam gives way to a "Stephen" jam.

I loved Brent's organ and synth colors at the start of this. The vocal jam is alright, and Garcia plays a short but tight lead. This is the opener of what I believe was Trey Anastasio's first GD concert.

(He makes up for it in the ending vocal jam, btw).

This is perfect and everything I love about 80s Dead. I love Jerry with an organ player!
